The siren's sting

Stevie is back at her discreet and dangerous best as the minder of the world's greatest - and most temperamental - opera star and the terrified wife of a shipping tycoon whose son has been kidnapped. The action swings from Sardinia in summer to diva season in Venice and to the billionaire's playgrounds of Morocco and the Mediterranean as Somali pirates target and stalk cruising mega-yachts and their impossibly rich and glamorous passengers.

Stevie Duveen exploded onto the pages of Miranda Darling's thrilling debut novel The Troika Dolls, taking on the Russia mafia and putting herself in terrible jeopardy in the process.
